Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport: Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Veron Dept: Paramedics ruled she was not fit to fly and transported her to the hospital, where she received medication, said Daniel Veron of Solidarity Across Borders. She was released a few hours later and allowed to return to her Montreal home, where her children were waiting, he said, according to Montreal Gazette. Ortiz, a 31-year-old mother of two, has been fighting to stay in the country since she arrived in 2006, saying she was the victim of physical and sexual assault at the hands of her husband, a federal police officer in Mexico and refugee claimant Paola Ortiz, who was to be deported to Mexico on a 10 a.m. flight out of Montreal on Tuesday, was instead transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital after suffering a panic attack at Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport. An alternate date for her deportation has not been set, Veron said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
